Awakefest 2013 ravers dancing to the Benny Hill theme song Someone decided these ravers needed a better soundtrack than whatever one they were actually dancing to.

This is the original video. See? The Benny Hill song is a big improvement.

The Benny Hill song is Yakety Sax just for the record.

Sounds like it would be funny but I loath BH and that song.

I really don't get this obsessive fetish with Yakety Sax young people have. It's a shit tune.

I don't hate the Yakety Sax one but the original music is funnier.

Yeah the use of Yakety Sax in this way is definitely a long time cliche (well beyond 'kids these days'). That being said the pairing of video and music is a fascinating subject deftly explored in this Adam Curtis post: While the Band Played On.
